just because you screw up doesn’t mean you’re a screw-up

July 12, 2008

“just because you screw up doesn’t mean you’re a screw-up. you could change that. you learn so much from your failures, you know what i mean? it doesn’t have to be as grim as it seems right at that moment, that there’s a bigger picture out there. you can make another choice if you just wanna keep working at it.”

“i’m not really big on spirituality. i’m not a tofu-eating, tree-hugging guy. i just do what’s right, and i try to do right by everybody, and i think the people who know me love me because i’m true to the heart.”

jumping the turnstile

July 12, 2008

i had gotten a $25 value for $10 at you-know-where for you-know-whats. i guess the reprimand for jumping a broken turnstile — where i otherwise would’ve had to go around to use the wheelchair access — was like kharmic payback. i later felt bad for not throwing a “sorry” in there, but i don’t think they were in the mood to appreciate an apology — not that i’m ever going to run into them again so that they can yell at me some more. seriously. jumping a functioning turnstile is dumb. jumping a broken one that doesn’t collect money is … sensible.
